Politics

The Right is suffering from a bout of deranged jealousy and self-imposed indignation when it comes to the President’s public persona – especially when the most “presidential” actions leave them looking and feeling foolish enough to turn a patriotic gesture into an over-dramatized mockery.

Appalled by the “elite” media’s reluctance to cover a story that has no merit, Newsbusters staff writer Matthew Sheffield laments the would-be bombers’ connections to OWS yet offers absolutely no proof whatsoever to his condemnation other than one-dimensional assertions of guilt-by-association.

The Department of Labor’s proposed child safety regulations for American farms went largely combated by Right wingers across the country, who lamented the usual nonsense of anti-American handlings from the executive branch while supporting the gross misconduct of big business.

Right wing extremism caters to the impressionable who choose not to understand history, science and culture. In a country that is supposed to be leading the world in education, cultural and religious diversity, intellectual advancement and scientific discovery, we continually allow this incessant garbage to dominate and threaten our national dialogue.

In this country, male, religious, tax-exempt “authorities” are granted more access over legislation than the people to whom it affects; where we allow the loudest most absurd voices in the room to get the most airtime because their narrative tends to agree with the ruling majority’s basic tenets of sexism and inequality as supported by “faith”.

Media watchdog group Media Matters has compiled a great video compilation from 2008 of Fox News explaining that it’s just not reasonable to blame the President for high gas prices. Four years later, the Right wing propaganda engine is whistling another tune.

Firing up the cause for regressive politics, Sen. Inhofe’s new book, “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future,” furthers his plight of inexcusable denial and conspiracy-theorizing while blaming “government regulations” for the state of energy insecurity in which the nation currently finds itself.

Lauding the popular, collective thought of Right wing-nuttery that higher learning offers little more than Marxist-riddled facets of social engineering, Santorum willfully attempts to lower the importance of education by wrongfully defacing its value to the country.

Having taken a proverbial beating from just about everyone, Rep. Bob Morris (R-Indiana) quickly attempted to steer the narrative away from political disaster just before doubling-down on even more backwards Right wing anti-abortion rhetoric against Planned Parenthood.

A new analysis of the Affordable Care Act shows that some of the nation’s most hard-strapped citizens are all-too-often than not proverbially shooting themselves in the foot by falling for Republican rhetoric concerning health care and taxation.
